New Arrival Special Feature
Cerbaiona di Diego Molinari Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2009 750ML ($219.95) $159 special
Wine Advocate 93 points, Antonio Galloni 92 points “Dark cherries, plums, mocha, dark spices and leather flesh out in the 2009 Brunello di Montalcino. Layered and voluptuous in the glass, the 2009 is one of the best early drinking Brunellos I have ever tasted from Cerbaiona. Clean veins of minerality and graphite wrap around the fruit on the expressive finish. This is a strong showing from one of Montalcino’s great artisan estates.” AG

WASHINGTON
Charles Smith K Vintners ‘M.C.K. Motor City Kitty’ Syrah 2012 750ML ($59.95) $49 special
Wine Advocate 94-96 points “The 2012 Syrah Motor City Kitty is another incredible Syrah from this estate that does everything right (including selling for a crazy low price). Giving up plenty of creme de cassis, licorice, crushed rock and subtle vanilla nuances, it’s full-bodied and incredibly polished on the palate, with ultra-fine tannin structure and gorgeous concentration that never seems cumbersome or heavy. Made from 100% Syrah and coming all from sandy soils, it’s blockbuster stuff that will have 10-15 years of longevity.” WA
FRANCE-CHAMPAGNE
Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque – Fleur de Champagne Brut 2006 750ML ($149.95) $99 special
Wine Enthusiast 95 points “Cellar Selection. This is a full-bodied and ripe wine, showing some toastiness as well as concentrated apple and peach flavors. There is a crisp edge to this opulent and rich wine. It has a great future: it is drinkable now, but will continue well into the 2020s.” WE
FRANCE-BURGUNDY
Jean-Marc Brocard Valmur, Valmur Grand Cru, Chablis 2009 750ML ($59.95) $37 special
Case-12 Jean-Marc Brocard Valmur, Valmur Grand Cru, Chablis 2009 750ML ($619.95) $399 special (that’s only $33.25/bottle!)
Burghound 93 points “A pretty mix of ripe citrus and white flowers that is cut with tidal pool nuances that add just enough Chablis character to confirm the origins of this wine. Happily there are more obvious Chablis nuances to the concentrated and silky-textured flavors that possess good underlying minerality and ample dry extract on the wonderfully long finish. This is quite well-balanced and impressively complex and about the only nit is the barest hint of backend warmth.” BH

Domaine Marcel Deiss Pinot Gris 2012 750ML ($29.95) $24 special
Ian D’Agata — Vinous 90 points “Straw-yellow with gold highlights. Bright tropical fruit aromas complicated by strawberry and honeyed almond paste. Juicy and focused, showing a lovely sugar/acid balance and outstanding length to the red berry and orchard fruit flavors. Finishes vibrant and clean.”
This is the only listing in the USA today!
Domaine Marcel Deiss Riesling 2012 750ML ($29.95) $24 special
Ian D’Agata — Vinous 89 points “Bright straw with a gold tinge. Peach, tea and spice on the forward nose. Rich, ripe and suave, with lovely tropical fruit flavors that persist nicely at the back, with a touch of alcoholic heat becoming apparent with aeration. The grapes for this wine are sourced from three main areas: Saint Hippolyte (on soils rich in granite and clay that yield wines with less acidity), Bergheim (slightly bigger, richer wines), and a few small plots between Riquewihr and Béblenheim. Mathieu Deiss told me that “when I first came to work at the estate, I thought why not join these grapes together rather than make single bottlings of each? It’s not as if we don’t have enough single-site wines, and besides, I didn’t think our clients were die-hard fans of the Saint Hippolyte or Bergheim wines themselves.””
This is the lowest listed price in the USA today!
The average price is $28
Domaine Marcel Deiss Gewurztraminer 2012 750ML ($31.95) $26 special
“Dark golden yellow. Ripe but fresh, focused aromas and flavors of tropical fruits, sweet spices and vanilla. Not the last word in complexity but plump and juicy, offering plenty of early appeal. Finishes suave and long, with welcome floral lift. Made from grapes grown near Bergheim on calcaire soils and in Saint Hippolyte on granite and clay.” — Ian D’Agata
Domaine Marcel Deiss Burlenberg 2009 750ML ($49.95) $41.90 special
Stephen Tanzer 92+ points “Bright ruby-red. Red cherry, raspberry syrup and fresh herbs on the perfumed nose. Creamy and tactile in the mouth, with pure, rich flavors of ripe red berries and cherry supported by fine-grained tannins. Turns slightly tighter, even a bit austere, on the very long finish, which features lingering smoke and iron notes. (Deiss told me he finds a taste of blood in this wine.) All this very impressive, mostly pinot noir red wine needs is a little time.” ID
Domaine Marcel Deiss Grasberg 2010 750ML ($59.95) $49 special
Wine Advocate 93 points “Striking, high-toned aromas of maraschino, pistachio and mirabelle distillate in the Deiss 2010 Grasberg put me in mind of previous renditions from this site and field-blend that favors Riesling, Pinot Gris and Traminer variants. Tingling pineapple informs its firm yet lusciously juicy palate, leading to a long, supportively sweet finish featuring the invigorating interaction of chalk, white pepper, orange and lemon zests, and nut extracts with peach and pineapple. Look for this beauty to perform impressively through at least 2025.” WA
This is the lowest listed price in the USA today!
Domaine Marcel Deiss Huebuhl Bergheim 2008 750ML ($59.95) $49 special
Wine Advocate & Stephen Tanzer 92 points “(pinot gris and muscat) Full orange-gold. Pungent, high-toned aromas of orange, spices and medicinal herbs; conveys a strong botrytis character. A very sweet, energetic fruit bomb in the mouth, with brisk acidity giving grip to the rather exotic flavors of tangerine, apricot, yellow peach, botanical herbs and spices. Big and broad but not heavy. Finishes long, tactile and slightly phenolic, showing its pinot gris side today.” ST

The average price is $57
Domaine Marcel Deiss Altenberg de Bergheim, Alsace Grand Cru 2010 750ML ($119.95) $99 special
Wine Advocate & Stephen Tanzer 95 points “Like its 2011 counterpart, the Deiss 2010 Altenberg de Bergheim is strikingly floral, but tends toward bitter-sweet and elusive perfume of iris and lily-of-the-valley. The influence of quinine and black tea as well as a welcome suggestion of fresh peach and citrus juiciness serve as more effective counterpoint and push-back to the wine’s prominent sweetness than is the case with the 2011. A gorgeous sense of openness and levity prevails here, with quince and nut pastes subtly complimenting the prominent impression of liquid floral perfume on a silken and expansive palate, leading to a prodigious finish at once caressing as well as stimulating in its dynamic interaction of flower, fruit, and mouthwatering mineral salts…” WA
This is the only listing in the USA today!
Domaine Marcel Deiss Schoenenbourg, Alsace Grand Cru 2010 750ML ($119.95) $99 special
Wine Advocate & Stephen Tanzer 94 points “Fresh peach and citrus lusciously inform the Deiss 2010 Schoenenbourg, whose creamy texture and honeyed richness, are matched by vivacious juiciness. White pepper, chalk, quinine, and shimmering mineral matter offer invigoration and counterpoint in a sustained and dynamically complex finish. The sweetness here is supportive without remotely getting the upper hand, so that I can well imagine over the 20-25 years during which this beauty will deserve to be admired, its versatility at table will vary inversely with a diminishing sense of sweetness.” WA

Cordero di Montezemolo Monfalletto, Barolo DOCG 2010 750ML ($49.95) $39 special
Wine Enthusiast 94 points “It offers compelling fragrances of rose, violet, leather, woodland berries and herbs, with balsamic accents. The savory palate delivers crushed Morello cherry, raspberry, mint, vanilla and espresso with a blast of orange zest on the finish. It’s young but already elegant and balanced. Drink after 2018.” WE

Cordero di Montezemolo Enrico VI, Barolo DOCG 2010 750ML ($119.95) $99 special

SPAIN
Pazo de Senorans Albarino, Rias Baixas 2013 750ML ($24.95) $21.90 special
Josh Raynolds–Vinous 92 points “(aged for four months in stainless steel tanks): Bright yellow. Powerful aromas of nectarine, orange pith, fresh fig and white flowers, with a hint of anise in the background. Dry, fleshy citrus and pit fruit flavors put on weight with air. The anise quality comes back on the mineral-driven finish, which expands and deepens on the tail end. Offers a satisfying balance of power and finesse.” JR

Life is Still a Cabernet
California took Bordeaux’s prized grape, Cabernet Sauvignon, and ran with it, making some of the world’s most recognizable and beloved red wine. From everyday drinkers to ultra-rare bottlings and lots in between, there is plenty to find at Vinopolis. Below are five of the over fifty different bottlings we offer.
Joseph Carr Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2012 750ML ($21.95) $18 special, 36+ bottles available
Case-12 Joseph Carr Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2012 750ML ($249.95) $179 special, 7 cases available
Wine Enthusiast “This full-bodied, concentrated wine is dry, quite firm and tannic in texture. It smells rich and a bit earthy, and tastes like blackberries, cranberries and beef. The style will accompany rich, meaty food very well.”
Hall Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2012 750ML ($59.95) $39 special, 36+ bottles available
Antonio Galloni 88-90 points “Hall’s 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is laced with attractive plum, mocha, licorice, spices and menthol notes. This juicy, highly expressive Cabernet Sauvignon is shaping up beautifully. It should drink well pretty much upon release.” AG
Rodney Strong Single Vineyard Alexander’s Crown Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley 2009 750ML ($79.95) $59 special, 36+ bottles available
Robert Parker 92+ points “The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander’s Crown bursts from the glass with dark cherry jam, blackberries, exotic spices, flowers, grilled herbs and graphite. It boasts gorgeous depth and a rich, sumptuous personality. Higher-toned floral notes add lift and brightness on the finish. The style is decidedly on the opulent side, yet all of the elements are nicely balanced. The 2009 is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 23 months in French oak barrels, 40% new. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.” RP

Kamen Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma Valley 2010 750ML ($89.95) $75 special, 29 bottles available
Antoni Galloni 93+ points “I am totally enthralled by Kamen’s 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon, without question the most elegant wine I have tasted from this site on the hills outside Napa. Veins of chiseled, precise fruit come alive in the glass. Hints of dark red and black fruits lead to all sorts of flowers in a Cabernet Sauvignon that impresses for its total sense of elegance and polish. There is a lot to look forward to here. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.” AG
Au Sommet Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2009 750ML ($299.95) $129 special, 36+ bottles available
Wine Enthusiast 94 points “Very rich and opulent, in the Heidi Barrett style, this Cabernet is sweetly jammy but somewhat direct in blackberries, cherries and raspberries. The finish is extraordinarily long and spicy, an indication that it’s a wine for the cellar. Firm tannins and fine acidity confirm its ageability. Hold this flashy, decadent wine until 2016 and then try it again.” WE
Robert Parker 93 points “The 2009 Au Sommet is a bit lighter on its feet than the 2008. Sweet, silky tannins frame the fruit. Unlike the 2008, the 2009 is not particularly wild or exotic. Instead, it is a wine that stands out for its textural finesse and understated personality. This mid-weight, gracious Cabernet Sauvignon should be cellared for another year or two and enjoyed over the following decade. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024” RP

Giving up fabulous Cabernet character with ample cassis, lead pencil, hints of green tobacco and earth, this full-bodied, layered and decadent effort has fantastic richness and a terrific finish. More polished on the palate than the nose would have you believe, it nevertheless has no shortage of finely polished tannin, and should evolve gracefully for two decades.” WA

California Pinot Noir Sale – No Doubt About It
Sandhi Rinconada Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills 2012 750ML ($69.95) Was $59 Now $49, 15 bottles available
Wine Advocate 94 points “From a vineyard just beside Sanford & Benedict, but further up the slope and with less top soil, the 2012 Pinot Noir Rinconada is thrilling stuff. Loaded with minerality, spice, earth and darker berry fruits, there’s a slight rusticity here, but I love the underlying structure and depth. Showing more floral notes with air, give it another year and it will dish out loads of pleasure through 2020.” WA
Antoni Galloni 94 points “The 2012 Pinot Noir Rinconada is deep, layered and vibrant to the core. Dark red cherry, smoke, game, blood orange and sage meld together in a structured, intense Pinot that needs at least another year or two in barrel for the tannins to soften. This is an impressive showing.” AG

Wine Advocate 93+ points “Showing a streamlined, focused and straight feel, the 2012 Pinot Noir Sanford and & Benedict knocks it out of the park with its nose of underbrush, rose petal, red berry and cranberry-slanted aromatics. Still tight on the palate, it has a serious core of fruit and will benefit from another year in bottle and drink nicely through 2020.” WA

This rich but lively pinot finishes sweet and long, with fine-grained tannins building slowly.” JR

Dusty tannins give grip to the finish, which features a refreshing jolt of bitter cherry.” JR

Poe Manchester Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir, Mendocino 2012 750ML ($49.95) Was $41.90 Now $36, 7 bottles available
Winemaker Note “The Manchester Ridge is earthy and wild. There is an explosive array of aromatics including pine sap, earth, fresh herbs, flowers, pie spice and berries. On the palate is dark red cherry, rhubarb, plum, spice, with a freshness and structured acidity. The finish is long and generous. The 15% whole cluster gives the wine incredible complexity and hits of fresh herbs that should be picked for the kitchen. Smelling this wine immediately takes me to the vineyard, high in a forest on the Mendocino Ridge.”

Wine Enthusiast 91 points “Editor’s Choice. Deep, brooding aromas of forest floor mark this dramatic Pinot. It suggests wild, woodland raspberries, pine needles, balsam, cola and earthy mushrooms. Dry and modest in alcohol, it’s a skillful interpretation of a difficult, cool vintage. Nice to drink now, and will age for at least six years.” WE

Wine Advocate 94 points “The 2009 Pinot Noir Occidental is gorgeous. Sweet, silky tannins frame an expressive core of fruit in this refined, subtle wine. The finish is refined and haunting. Shatter was a big issue here in 2009 and lowered yields significantly, but the positive side of that is that the wine has more than enough stuffing to handle its 100% new French oak with grace. This is a striking wine from Evening Land. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022.”WA

Wine Advocate 94-97 points “The largest-scaled Colson Canyon to date, the 2013 Syrah Colson Canyon is classic cassis, black raspberry, graphite and toasty notes to go with a full-bodied, concentrated and layered profile on the palate. This got a big “Wow” in the notes, and while it doesn’t pull any punches with regards to fruit or texture, it stays lively and elegant. It will have 10-15 years of longevity” WA
